Much postmodern rhetoric, suggests Karsten Harries, can be understood as a symptom of our civilization's discontent, born of regret that we are no longer able to experience our world as a cosmos that assigns us our place. But dissatisfaction with the modern world may also spring from a conviction that modernism has failed to confront the challenge of an inevitably open future. Such conviction has frequently led to a critique of modernity's founding heroes. Challenging that critique, Harries insists that modernity is supported by nothing other than human freedom.
But more important to Harries is to show how modernist self-assertion is shadowed by nihilism and what it might mean to step out of that shadow. Looking at a small number of medieval and Renaissance texts, as well as some paintings, he uncovers the threshold that separates the modern from the premodern world. At the same time, he illuminates that other, more questionable threshold, between the modern and the postmodern.
Two spirits preside over the book: Alberti, the Renaissance author on art and architecture, whose passionate interest in perspective and point of view offers a key to modernity; and Nicolaus Cusanus, the fifteenth-century cardinal, whose work shows that such interest cannot be divorced from speculations on the infinity of God. The title Infinity and Perspective connects the two to each other and to the shape of modernity.
具體描述
讀後感
Karsten Harries以视角原理（principle of perspective）为主线，把世界看成一座剧场：你买了哪个位置的票，你就受这个位置所提供的视角的束缚。不过，事情也绝非仅此而已。一方面，Harries认为，要破除绝对的逻各斯中心主义所带来的价值、意义无涉，这容易遁入相对主义或虚无...
評分8 下半部分首先出现的，是一位返场选手——库萨的尼古拉。 前面说过，透视法显示人经由反思的“去中心”如何与“回到中心”相联系，思考上帝无限性所导致的“去中心”会引出人文主义的“回到中心”。而关键是，新得到的中心不再能自称为一个“绝对的中心”。这时候，中世纪人想...

評分这本书里的思想非常复杂，没办法理出线性的逻辑关系，书中谈到的各种思想源流呈网状联系，看完书之后，摘抄出来划线的段落集中起来看，仍然是一脸懵逼。。。读了几十年书了也算是头一次遇到这样的情况，各章之间，前后章节都有联系，随随便便就能理出一些逻辑线索。 作者的厉...
評分昨天刚刚跟一个朋友聊到上帝与科学的关系，便看到了这本书，直观扼要，而且剥去了专业范畴的概念，使用了普遍性的词语，我们每一个人都可能读明白，或者至少有些收获。 西方科技发展的进程一直伴随着宗教的演变，它们有相同的老祖宗，或者说宗教是科学发源的前提。正是基督对人...
用戶評價
Harries argues that the overthrow of the limited and hierarchical medieval cosmos has its origin not in the new science of Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo, but in rather simple speculations on the nature of perspective.

评分晚期海德格爾～作者已退休。耶魯哲學係網站上有他的講課稿，趕緊去下載
评分可能是因為這僅僅是我第二次接觸科學史的主題，震動還挺大的。condemnation 1277 那段討論有些醍醐灌頂的感覺。最後尾聲那裏寫得真動人呀。
评分難。。。
